Beginning Friday, October 18, the Kangaroos and Jilliaroos put on a double header of action from Suncorp Stadium, with the 9Network to showcase games live and free every weekend through to the finals on Sunday, November 10.
Nations will battle for pacific supremacy in men’s and women’s fixtures that feature the best NRL and NRLW players in teams from Australia, New Zealand, Samoa, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Tonga and the Cook Islands.
Hosted by James Bracey and Emma Lawrence, Nine’s commentary team is headed up by former Australian captains Cameron Smith, Brad Fittler, Andrew Johns, Darren Lockyer plus Kangaroos legends Billy Slater, Paul Gallen, Johnathan Thurston, international rugby league representatives Ruan Sims and Millie Elliott, commentators Brenton Speed and Peter Psaltis.
